Favorite brand of lipstick? Make Up For Ever, the wear length has been good for me and I love the color range!

Favorite brand of lipgloss? I really like Smashbox glosses, they don’t seem as sticky to me as a lot of other glosses I’ve used.

Favorite brand of lip liner? I don’t really have one, I’ve got pencils from all over the place because I can’t decide. The ones I think I like the best of what I have are Nyx and Make Up For Ever.

I have never tried lip liner so I am totally open to suggestions on that! As for lipstick, from what I have tried, MAC makes the best lipstick. I love how they’re organized by finish depending on the pigmention/look you want and they’re gorgeous! As for lipgloss, of the brands I’ve tried I love the consistency of my Lancome Juicy Tubes though they don’t last very long. I like my glosses semi-sheer to semi-opaque and depending on the color you get the Juicy Tubes are great! Plus, they smell super good! All of mine have a unique scent.

MAC/MAC/MAC

I’ve tried different brands, from Chanel & YSL to CG & Revlon. And no need to reinvent the wheel, just go with MAC. Not saying that the other brands don’t have great some nice lippy products but MAC covers everything I need when it comes to lips.

Favorite brand of lipstick? Hmmm, between MAC and Bourjois, when it comes to texture and pigmentation!A brazillian brand called Vult has pretty good lipsticks as well!
Favorite brand of lipgloss? So far, Rimmel London and Duda Molinos, another brazillian brand!

MAC. I would’ve said NYX, but their staying power sucks.

Favorite brand of lipgloss?
NYX. They’re cheap, pigmented, comes in a wide range of colors, and tastes yummy. What’s not to love?

Favorite brand of lip liner?
Its a tie between MAC and Prestige.

Lipstick: Covergirl wins for the best lower end brand. I’m still working my way through the higher end brands and haven’t yet formed a distinct taste for any particular one. (I will say Sephora’s own brand of lipsticks actually work suprisingly well on me. Very little drying.)

Lipgloss: Not a gloss person, so I’ll have to go with Revlon.

Lipliner: Surprisingly, my L’Oreal liners have held out the longest. Even though I have a vast multitude from various brands, I find myself going back to them a lot.

Favorite brand of lipstick?
I do not have a brand favorite. I find that product varies so much between the different forumulas offered by each brand and even color effects the final product.
Favorite brand of lipgloss?
I love Lip Fusion and Buxom. The Revlon glosses are really favorites of mine too.
Favorite brand of lip liner?
No. 7 is my absolute fave, hands down, the end.

Lipstick: MAC, all the way. Especially their matte ones! Great pigmentation and wear time.

Gloss: Urban Decay Lip Junkie. I have several colors, both glitter and jelly. Fantastic texture, just sticky enough to set well on the lips, and I LOOOOVE the flavor and minty tingle! Although, I do hate the tube. It’s obnoxious when it gets to be half full 🙁

Pencil: A lip pencil is a lip pencil. But I love the colors and texture at MAC. Make Up Forever pencils also wear like iron!

Favorite brand of lip liner? I’m not sure because I haven’t used lip liner in quite some time – but I should actually – oh well I do use UD clear lip liner, I forget the name of it and it works pretty good.

Favorite Brand of Lipstick: MAC: for me, they have the smoothest application and great color selection. Other brands of lipsticks either expose lip lines or aren’t pigmented enough.

Favorite Brand of Lipgloss: Revlon, MAC, and Philosophy:
For Revlon, I <3 the Colorburst and Super Lustrous Lines. They are pigmented and have shimmer.

For MAC, my faves are the Lustreglasses and Cremesheen Glasses. Love Nectar and Boy Bait are great everyday colors. I also can't resist Dazzleglasses. The only con is the price for Cremesheen Glasses and Dazzleglasses. (0.09 oz and 0.06 oz respectively for $20 w/ tax) :'/

Philosophy Lip Shines always have dead-on scents. Coconut Frosting is one of my faves. Pretty long lasting shine and pretty shimmers for an acceptable price.

Favorite Brand of Lipliner: Jordana: I haven't experimented w/ many lipliners but I really love using them as a stain. I enjoy the Jordana ones very much.

– I don’t use lipsticks; i feel like i’m not classy enough to wear lipsticks; and i’m afraid to have lipstick on my teeth, looooooool

– I wear L’oreal et MAC lipglasses; but my favourite are my MAC’s.

– I’ve got an only one lip pencil, and it’s a MAC.

I love MAC and Marilyn Miglin lipstick. Lip Gloss would be Marilyn Miglin and IT Cosmetics. Lip Liner-Marilyn Miglin, Avon. Avon’s Mark brand is also really good-I guess they’re trying to emulate MAC(ya think?)I also have to give a mention to Du Wop’s Lip Venom.
